Ruby starts about 2/3rds of them but Pete, being bigger, stronger and quicker, finishes them 100% of the time.

Below, Pete, in lightly falling snow, in Cat Creek Canyon . . .



Signs of early winter in Cat Creek Canyon . . .



But a nice day for Pete after climbing out of the Canyon below . . .



Before daybreak, Pete and Ruby watch a herd of about 100 elk on the other side of their fence, a fairly normal occurrence in the Spring and Fall . . . and sometimes in winter. We are on a local migration route . . .
